Shotgun

The Honcho Tactical Triple is a short shotgun. The three barrels are 18.5 inches long and the 12ga weighs just 6 pounds. It’s available with either the rounded pirate grip or the standard pistol grip. It’s also got a Picatinny rail under the barrels at the front for all manner of accessories–certainly a light, but maybe a bayonet would be appropriate, too.

At range day, Kel-Tec drew quite the crowd with their new guns. Of the new ones, the KS7 was one of the most popular. This variant of the KSG is basically the same bullpup shotgun that we love, but with a single magazine tube and a carry handle/sight. I had the opportunity to shoot the KS7 at the range and I can testify that it is as awesome as you would hope.

Kent was founded in 1996 by members of a hunt club, and the demands of hunting guide the production of their shotgun loads. This year there’s a big update made to their Faststeel and Turkey loads.

Genesis Arms has introduced both a full production Gen-12 Shotgun, as well as Gen-12 upper receivers that can be swapped with any DPMS Pattern Gen 1 lower receiver.  Pop out the two takedown pins on your AR-10, throw the new Gen-12 upper on and you are ready to rock.

So who is the market for this gun?  I can see it doing well for someone in the 3-Gun world, someone in the market for a home defense solution, or even someone just looking to have fun at the range.

For a shooting match at close range, the Nightstick would absolutely burn it down. And that aside, it is incredibly fun to shoot. Not to mention a gaggle of firepower, in a very small package.

Don’t let appearances fool you, this is not a shotgun. It is something completely different. The 12 gauge Remington V3 Tac-13 is a 26.5-inch long semi-automatic firearm with a Raptor grip. Built on an aluminum receiver, it weighs under 6 pounds and holds up to five 2 3/4 inch shells in the tube magazine with one more in the chamber.

Gearing up for the new year Mossberg is adding four new guns to the company catalog including a new series of Retrograde shotguns.

The new 12-gauge is called the “Nightstick” and it’s a successor to the Shockwave, now with traditional wood furniture.
